Re: My Harlet backfires when starting if I pul the choke out
Your crank seals are probably going bad which is why you are having to choke so much.
That being said, backfires are normally due to the throttle butterfly on the carb not closing all the way when the driver lets off the gas. Even though spark has stopped there is still fuel flowing into the cylinder. Once spark starts again, BANG! |

Check out page 9 in the attached like. It is written for a Columbia but most of the same procedure applies. |
